It hadn't been easy relating what had happened over and over again.
In fact I haven't been relating the entire story.

Each time I thought I had gotten over it, I realised that I was not done yet.
My heart felt heavy each time I was about to speak about it.
And I could feel my tear duct getting ready to overflow.
This explains the short answers: "I'm ok", "everything's fine".
It is not that I did not want to confide in you, just that I did not want to start another crying game.

I do appreciate the care and concern my close friends have given.
Thanks for the company and the concern provided...I really needed it.
Getting out of the house was something I needed, taking a breather was essential.
Even when you were stuck without any more words of consolation,
I still appreciated it, for you being just there.
Thanks guys...

While the family went to collect Granny's ashes, I wanted to go up to Mt. Faber to take some shots, capture the beauty of nature while I still can, take a breather and get some essential items from Vivo before I meet up with Cher.
But the weather did not look very promising.
So scrapped the photography.
In promptu meet up with M2 took my mind off for a while...especially the mind-blowing goosebumps I got...*winks.

Dinner at Gurkha Palace then shopping spree...
I enjoy retail therapies but the excitement was temporary.
Tried looking for a Arm Wallet/Hp Case but could not find a suitable one.
Cher stayed over and we went for a run the following morning.
Could not take my mind off what had happened as I ran through MacRitchie.
The fear of missing any important calls or smses rose.
My heart felt really heavy as Cher opened the locker.
Phew!
No one 'Missed' me.

We had breakfast @ Toastbox before we shopped for groceries for our baking session.
Made 3 sets of Peanut Butter Banana Cheesecakes.
Cher watched as I prepared.
We'll bake the Chocolate Chip Cookies next week.

It is nearing to Monday...school day...
The whole week did not go as planned.
I missed out a lot.
Now all I can look forward to is the Bangkok trip in December.
I hope the protests will stop by then.
And I hope nothing bad will happen...at least in the near future...

I wonder how long it will take to get over the loss.
Still got to stay strong for the family.
